    Can somebody explain this? Why Devs give this stuff, but it is absolutely not clear what it is...

    Try playing a few games and you’ll see what it does.

    I found out! Asked @CaffeinatedChris about this, he said shots near waves won't be wasted anymore, they will be "vertically compensated".

    Basically, if you're at the crest of a wave and someone else is in a trough, you'll now auto-aim downwards at them instead of sailing the shot harmlessly over their head. And vice versa they'll aim up instead of firing a barrage into the water.

    ROFL... THAT explains that one night I had a series of losses. In particular I remember missing quite a few times at point blank range. Well OK.... it doesn't explain all the losses but it does explain those misses :)

    Use "nitro beside the target". The auto aim can compensate vertical and horizontal movement, but it cannot compensate diagonal movement. Walk into the target, look for when they think they have you, and nitro beside them(not straight into them) a millisecond before that

    Perhaps its just me being too old to adapt to change, by my god this change bothers me! Till now the only effect has been a jumpy crosshair that makes me miss shots I would routinely land before.

    Game needs less "clever" auto, not more :)

    Options are the key. New players may love this, old veterans not so much.

    Perhaps having a toggle is best.

    I'd love to see some custom matches with absolutely 0 auto aim. That would be interesting.

    I still need to study auto aim's behaviour... I use speeder and the low ship height makes it difficult to understand.
